Description
The Manor House is a house dating from 1717 or earlier, with a 19th-century extension on the left and some alterations. It is constructed of rendered brick and features a grey slate roof. The building has two storeys plus attics, with a central doorway flanked by one room on each side in the original section. The extension has one room on each storey under an uninterrupted roof. The room to the right of the door on the ground floor has two 19th-century flush sash windows with two panes each, while the lower storey window to the left of the door has a 16-pane sash with side sashes of four panes. The second storey has a double two-pane sash, and the attic features a four-pane sash in a gabled dormer. The two-storey 19th-century extension includes one four-pane sash window on each storey.
The entrance features a good quality four-panel 19th-century door set in a Roman Doric doorcase with square pilasters and a voussoired keystone inscribed "1717 WAP (Pilkington)" beneath a pediment. The right end gable has a small-pane horizontal sliding sash window on the lower storey, a sash window on the upper storey, and a 12-pane near-flush sash in the attic. Two oval plates are inscribed "WWW 55" and "WWW 57". Some windows at the rear have been renewed, mostly in their original openings, and four openings have brick labels, likely from the 17th century. The window to the right of the back door, which is under a label, has rectangular leaded glazing, and above the back door is a small-paned square fanlight.
Inside, there are stone cellars and two-panel oak doors, likely from 1717 or earlier. The central parlour has internal shutters, and some beams are adze-finished. The dogleg newel stair, made of oak and painted, dates from 1717 or earlier and features two turned balusters per step, while the attic landing has simple turned balusters. There is an oak small-framed partition to the left of the stairwell, and leaded windows, probably with old glass, separate the stairwell from the rear attic rooms, with the left window being rectangular and the right being latticed. The attic includes one three-board oak door and oak purlins, along with good Victorian grates and fireplaces.
